The Path...

Ok - half of our sabbatical is over.

The question comes up - "So, what are you learning?"

My short answer for today is.....how we do today's part of the journey is important. Do I enjoy the part of the journey I CAN see? Or, do I miss the joy of today wondering where the path goes next - the part I can't see? I miss A LOT of beauty by being focused on where the path goes next. Today is important. HIS grace for today is important. HIS joy for today is important. HIS gift of today is important.

I practiced "yard tharapy" yesturday and when I was done, I just stood back and enjoyed how great my front yard looked. No thoughts of the tough week before or the week ahead. I also had 2 uninterupted hours with Him. I cherished every minute!
